Erik ten Hag makes classy gesture to Sir Alex Ferguson in tunnel after Man Utd win

Erik ten Hag invited iconic former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson into the Red Devils’ dressing room to join in with the celebrations after winning the Carabao Cup.

The Old Trafford outfit ended their near six-year trophy doubt at Wembley on Sunday afternoon - a strike from Casemiro and a Sven Botman own-goal proving to be enough to claim the trophy. It was also a fantastic achievement for Ten Hag with the Dutchman securing his first piece of silverware with the club less than a year after joining the Red Devils.

Amid the post-match celebrations - Ten Hag taking the acclaim of his squad and also dancing with former Ajax stars Lisandro Martinez and Antony - the Dutchman made sure that legendary former manager Ferguson was involved. The pair met in the tunnel shortly after captain Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes had lifted the trophy.
